LARCENY SUMMARY JURISDICTION BILL.—Following an inaccurate report in a leadingjournal
last week, we represented Mr. Law's amendment—for dividing the bill into two bills, and thus separating the provisions regarding the value of the thing stolen from those regarding the age of the offender— as having been negatived by 124 to 54 : the vote was exactly the opposite way—the amendment was carried by that majority.
